QUEEN ANNE. It's not hard to find this watering hole – its dancing pig and waltzing cow sign is a neighborhood landmark. Right down the street from Key Arena, it's a favorite pre-game gathering spot for Sonics fans. An impressive selection of premium domestic and imported drafts joins homemade BBQ to create just the right recipe for a day of sports on the tube. After downing some brews and a brisket or two, work off the extra calories in the back room by playing eight ball, shuffleboard, or pinball.

DOWNTOWN. This upscale sports bar is a perfect fit with the after-work crowd. Flat-screen plasma TVs are scattered throughout the spacious bar area, affording unobstructed views of the game from almost every seat. Pull up a chair to the elegantly-carved bar for great happy hour specials during the week, or slip away to the cozy lounge if you need a break from the action. There are great eats to nosh on while you check the scores, too; coconut shrimp, soy-ginger salmon, and roasted prime rib are a cut above normal bar fare.

FREMONT. Step into this friendly neighborhood establishment to catch the game, and enjoy a cold beer and a heaping plate of steak and eggs. Two big-screen TVs mean that you'll have a great view of sports action, usually devoted to the Seahawks, Mariners, Sonics, or Huskies. Monday nights are dedicated to football and to great food and drink specials. Popular breakfast fare – including favorites like corned beef hash and eggs, omelets, and buttermilk pancakes – is served until 2pm.

WALLINGFORD. An amiable, light-hearted mood (save during football season) pervades this local sports bar, which finds favor with a wide mix of regulars, including young professionals and students straying from more showy places near the UW campus. If a match-up on the tube is going poorly, foosball, pool, darts, and pinball offer pleasant distractions. Great beer specials and weekly pool and dart tournaments ensure that Goldies stays packed.

WEST SEATTLE. A mammoth, 20-foot television showing "all sports, all the time" makes RockSport an easy pick for Puget Sound sports fans.

Other entertainment possibilities include live bands on Saturday nights, pool tables, movie screenings, Xbox tournaments, trivia nights, and a load of other special events. Watch the local press for great drink specials – Tightwad Tuesdays are particularly popular.

SEA-TAC AIRPORT. A good place to bide your time before catching a flight out of Sea-Tac, this sports bar offers a "last chance," if you will, for sampling the Pacific Northwest's signature microbrews. A full menu features everything from barbecue to burgers to roasted meats. Reasonable prices (for the area, that is) and a distinctly masculine atmosphere make Sharps the preferred haunt of many traveling businessmen staying at nearby hotels.

PIONEER SQUARE. Convenient for sports-lovers catching the Mariners in American League action at Safeco Field or the Seahawks in NFL action at Seahawks Stadium, this bar is a favorite with fans, thanks to all of the sports memorabilia adorning the walls. With something like 30 televisions, it's also a great place to catch the game when you can't get tickets, or to celebrate pre- or post-game. Terrific pub grub and mugs of ice cold beer are standard at the two-level watering hole, and while it may not be filled to capacity on non-game days, just wait till the Seahawks win!
